Export your data. Import from almost anywhere too.
Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).
Geez is it me or is there too many things to keep up with between myspace, blogger, BackList now a place to upload all your books? It's a great concept, but as I open my cupboard (which is filled with books and not food), I can't even imagine loading the names of all the books I own. That would be incredibly crazy of me, not too mention time-consuming. I should read all them first before I start listing them.
But if anyone out there has done it, I would love to hear the wonderful benefits you've derived from it.
